Explore some of the Coromandels most specular coast line including Cathedral Cove. Get close to the stunning volcanic rock formations, pinnacles and sea caves. What sets us above the rest is we take your below to explore the under water world of the Marine Reserve. Spot many different species of fish plus crayfish, stingrays, octopus, kinna and more. Watch the marine life through the glass in the comfort of the cabin or take the plunge and experience sensational snorkeling with equipment provided. Our experienced crew will entertain you with a fun commentary enriched with history and information on the area. Our mammal watch permit allows us to view dolphins and orcas when they visit.

This is the second time that I've done a trip on the Glass Bottom Boat. I was so impressed with my first visit that I knew I wanted to come back with my son. Mark was again a very knowledgeable and friendly host, and even helped me to get the best settings on my camera for the ultimate photos. He...

After working in tourism I find some guides on tours can be a bit glib but Captain Joe was great - not only with the historical information but also imparting his views on NZ society. The coastline is stunning. Good boat . The wind was cold - go prepared for the cold.

Hi Travic
Thank you for coming out with us on the Glass Bottom Boat and writing this great review. I am sure you have been and seen plenty so hearing your thoughts on how great our Captain Joe did is awesome. He is very passionate about his job, our stunning coastline and all things marine (and the All Blacks). It...

We were excited for the Glass Bottom Boat tour, but the tour exceeded our expectations and made for a fantastic day on the beautiful waters of the Coramandel! Captain Joe was very entertaining, funny, and informative. We learned from him some Maori culture we had not learned prior, and he was passionate about the history of Whitianga and the waters...

Hi Smokin_Salmon_27
Thank you for coming out with us on the Glass Bottom Boat and writing this fantastic review. Our tour is perfect for families, the kids just love our glass panels and letting their imaginations run wild under the water. It is a hard time of the year to jump in the water, it has still not quite warmed...

We had a great afternoon trip with Captain Joe out to Cathedrale Cove. He was very entertaining and gave interesting historical information. One of the guests lost the camera in the ocean and Joe got it out of the ice cold water. What a service!

Hi Travellino
Thank you for coming out with us on the Glass Bottom Boat and writing this great review. Any excuse for Captain Joe to jump overboard and he will do it. Well done to Joe for retrieving the camera, brilliant service :) It is a great tour and our fabulous skippers make it even more entertaining. Happy to hear...

We learnt all sorts of stuff about Whitianga, it's history and the geology of the land, we laughed a lot and really enjoyed Capt Joe's stories, and seeing the sea life in the marine reserve was very special. We were really glad we chose this adventure, and highly recommend it. Thanks heaps Capt Joe and team!

The glass bottom boat cruise Cap'n Joe took us on on Saturday morning was great and added to our knowledge and enjoyment of the beautiful Whitianga region. We loved seeing the schnapper and other marine life through the glass bottom of the boat. Fantasy island was a bonus! Great work Joe!

Hi Alannah S
Thank you for coming out on the Glass Bottom Boat and writing this fantastic review. Joe is an entertainer, our coastline and history is pretty awesome but he just adds another level with his humour and stories. I will definately have to ask him about his Fantasy island that everyone is raving about :) Thank you again...

What an awesome day out on the boat! Saw the fantastic cathedral cove but so much more. Fantastic cliffs, awesome marine reserve, great boat with very interesting glass bottom v hull. Mark was friendly, helpful and very informative. Snorkelling was great fun! Would strongly recommend you do this tour if in the area!

Hi Andrew S
Thank you for coming out with us on the Glass Bottom Boat and writing this great review. Our glass bottom is just awesome, most of our customers are wowed by it when our floor lifts us. So much fun seeing into the underwater world, but well done on jumping in for a snorkel. It is fun snorkeling...
